I hope it will be version 1.2.

I have already submitted 5 teams from my group and although i feel 3 of the teams are not tournament ready i hope to produce a good showing. While 1.3 fixes most of the bugs in 1.2 we've been practicing using 1.2 and i hope it will stay that way. To change now will kill us.

Can someone please post up a list of the bugs so that we can take note of them and not disqualify.

I agree. The organizers should compile a list of the bugs and exploits in ver 1.2 patch, so that the contestants will be able to recognize any unfairness during the tournaments.
